Blood smears were examined from 141 montane forest birds of 45 species in southeastern Papua New Guinea. Haemoproteus spp. occurred in 46 (32.6%), Leucocytozoon fringillinarum Woodcock, 1910 in five, Trypanosoma sp. in one and Haemogregarina sp. in one. Intensity of infection by Haemoproteus was highest in those avian species and families with the highest prevalence; increasing altitude had no demonstrable effect on the prevalence of Haemoproteus spp.
对来自巴布亚新几内亚东南部45种141只山地森林鸟类的血涂片进行了检查。疟原虫属物种在46只鸟（32.6%）中出现，1910年发现的燕鹆白细胞虫在5只鸟中出现，锥虫属物种在1只鸟中出现，血变原虫属物种在1只鸟中出现。疟原虫属的感染强度在那些患病率最高的鸟类物种和科中最高；海拔升高对疟原虫属物种的患病率没有明显影响。
